Heats up quickly

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This charcoal is fantastic. It's affordable and heats up extremely quickly and evenly and adds a good smokey flavor. There was some dust and chips, but overall I recommend this product because of the burn time and how quickly it heats.

Tastes good but burns hot and fast.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I received this for my honest review. The Good Charcoal has great packaging and it was good but it burned hot and that made it go out sooner than my regular Charcoal. I like how it’s better for the environment. I don’t know if I was just hungry but those Polish sausage was so good and they were our usual brand so I think it was the charcoal. It’s similar in price as my normal charcoal. We’re using it again tonight with chicken and I made homemade hoagie buns to go with it and I can’t wait for dinner!

Best out there

I have been using The Good Charcoal brand lump charcoal for a while now and compared to the others on the market it is amazing.. It cooks hot, holds consistent temperatures, and lasts a long time!! I haven't even touched my propane grill since I started using this charcoal. Would definitely recommend to anybody looking for a great product at a great price.

The burn quality was clean and hot.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Very low ash residue,the burn time is excellent the heat distribution was perfect don’t have to worry about burning my steak. The overall flavor it gave the food was yummy, the packaging stands out.

reply from The Good Charcoal Team

Hi there Mike,<br />We’re sorry to hear this was your takeaway. Opening a bag and feeling disappointed right out of the gate is never a good experience, and we appreciate you speaking up.<br /><br />Our lump charcoal is made from real hardwood, and we put a lot of care into how it’s processed and packed. When someone comes across a bag that doesn’t reflect that effort, it’s something we want to understand and address.<br /><br />If you’re open to connecting, please email us at Hello&#64;thegoodcharcoal.com. We’d like the chance to take a closer look and make sure you’re taken care of.

Too many large rocks in the bag.

Very small lumps and many large rocks in the bag. Will not purchase again from Sam’s.
